This is an I-Heart podcast.

We got to talk about this post-in-season tournament drama.

Thanks to Ethan Strauss of the House of Strauss,

substack.

I'm going to start with the fact that I like Ethan Strauss.

You know, Ethan Strauss isn't afraid to say,

we'll call him intentionally,

uh,

controversial, uh, fiery, uh,

we'll call it the counter take.

He's the king of the counter take, right?

And he's, as we would say, a crumudgeon.

I like that about Ethan Strauss,

not afraid to not, maybe to anti-suck the NBA's dick. He's the kind of guy who shits on your favorite thing because he is a hipster, right? Anything that's popular, Ethan Strauss hates.

And I like, again, I like Ethan Strauss.

But he is here to tell us now, Ethan Strauss,

what we saw with our own eyes,

I like the in-season tournament, thought it was successful, thought it was good.

We are wrong, actually.

The in-season tournament, according to Ethan Strauss, is a complete and utter failure.

Close it up.

Move on.
